Attendance Management
Unplanned staff absence can be challenging and costly – putting extra pressure on your team and impacting day-to-day operations and productivity. At Alert Health, we help manage employee health and mitigations for continuous operations.
Occupational Health Management Referrals in Inverness, Moray and the Highlands
The CIPD states that the “average rate of employee absence now stands at 9.4 days per employee per year” and so having a solid strategy for managing absence from work is essential. Be ready to ensure your employees receive the appropriate support and reduce the potential impact of absence for them and the business.
As the largest occupational health clinic in Inverness, our team of expert clinicians work you and your employee to determine the most appropriate course of action when sickness absence occurs. Having a solid attendance management strategy in place will allow you to make contingencies that allow your operations to continue smoothly if someone is off ill long-term.
We look to ensure your business experiences minimal disruption when the unexpected occurs – and that your employees are well looked after and have a successful return to work. Our support will help you plan for absence by providing guidance on fitness for work, workplace adjustments and support for returning to work.
When you refer your employee, our clinician reviews the information you have provided and has a chat with the individual to better understand their condition and how their ability to work is affected.
You will then receive a detailed report providing you with recommendations to return the person back to work where possible. Where someone is managing a medical condition at work, the report will advise you on what reasonable adjustments could be made so the individual can remain working.
As standard, a management referral report will include:
- An update on current health status
- Prognosis for any medical condition
- Fitness status, the likely return to work date, and whether to full or modified duties
- Current functional ability, if work duties are affected, and whether any impairment is likely to be short-term, long-term or permanent
- Advice in accordance with relevant UK legislation
- A specific return to work plan, including advice on any adjustments with clear timescales
